This seventeenth coin in the Call of the Wild series is struck from 1 ounce of pure gold with a fineness of 99.99%. The engravers at the Royal Canadian Mint have taken care to depict the portrait of the American bobcat in the finest detail. It is a coin made to the highest standard of pure gold available in the world. It also features the highest face value (200 CAD) among all bullion gold coins that are legal tender. This makes it an extremely desirable coin for investors and collectors.
The reverse of the coin features a detailed engraved portrait of the American bobcat. The animal has its mouth open, and its characteristic fangs can be seen. In the field of the coin, there is a laser-engraved maple leaf. There, the number indicating the year of the coin's issue is also found.
The obverse bears the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II along with the inscription D.G. REGINA (By the Grace of God, Queen), and at the bottom, the face value of 200 dollars is displayed.
The bobcat (from English "short-tailed cat"), also known as the red lynx or American lynx, is the most effective and perhaps best-adapted cat to changing conditions inhabiting North America. The American bobcat is a solitary and mysterious animal. It is often confused with the Canadian lynx, but its face more closely resembles that of a domestic cat, and like other cats, it can make familiar sounds: hissing, growling, and purring. The American bobcat is smaller than the Canadian lynx, has shorter ear tufts, spotted fur, and a white underside of its short, curved tail. It also has smaller paws, which make it difficult for it to move through snow and limit its range to southern Canada. It primarily hunts hares and rabbits but also eats rodents, birds, fish, reptiles, and even occasional deer. It is a skilled hunter capable of catching prey much larger than itself.
The bobcat is a species that has undoubtedly succeeded. Its populations occupy extensive territories, and the predator is widespread, not threatened with extinction in most places, despite human activity in increasingly larger areas where these animals occur.
With Canada's growing independence from Great Britain, the need to mint its own coins also increased. Therefore, in 1908, the Royal Canadian Mint was established and has since become one of the most important mints in the world. But to this day, all coins from the Royal Canadian Mint bear the portrait of the reigning British monarch.
The Mint's shares are held in trust for the Crown of Canada.
The Mint produces all Canadian circulation coins and is involved in designing and crafting collector coins from precious metals—gold, silver, palladium, and platinum bullion coins, medals, as well as medallions and tokens. It also offers gold and silver refining services.
Today, the Royal Canadian Mint sets standards in the field of minting technology and numismatic design, which reflects its position and reputation.
